Sugar.

There was consumed In the United States
in the year 1855 53i pounds of sugar to
each person, making vast total of 3,ll1,-
,20,toO pounds, only 3i4, 763, $50 pounds of
which, including maple and beet root sugar,
were grown in the United States.
Louisiana produced 2s6, 6,G25, ,920 pounds Of
care sugar, 9nd Florida and Texas made
1G,l25,CC0 pounds. OF maple sugar there
was 40,320, COO, and OF beet sugar, grown
solely in California, 1,6ss,060 pounds.
The average amount Of imported sugar
Consumed by each person, including In
farts, was AZ pounds, which makes the tax
paid by or for each person o. cents. This
is direct tax that every one can feel, and
which has to be paid In cash for the benefit
of few hundred planters in fourteen par
isbes Of Louisiana.
The average cost of the imported sugar
at the point Of export was 2.S4 cents per
pound. The average freight would make
this cents at the port OF delivery where
the duty was paid, making the cost to the
importer cents per pound. Any consumer
can see that the added cost Of 2 cents was
paid by him.
The indications are that the production
Of teet sugar In Europe this year will reach
the enormous quantity of 2,5s0,000 tons.
The result is that the markets OF all OF
Europe are practically closed to Cuban
sugar with the exception, of course, OF
Spain. This makes the United States
practically the sole sugar market for Cuba,
and 06 per cent. OF her sugar now comes
here. The existence of the sugar planta-
tions, the railroads Of the island, and almost
it's entire business is now dependent on
the United States. 1t is with the knowl-
edge of this fact, OF the dependence OF
Cuba on the United States to the extent Of
94 per cent. for market In which to sell
added to the apprehension that that market
may also be taken by other sugar produc.
ing countries from Cuba, that leads its
inhabitants to urge upon the Madrid gov
ernmrnt the immediate negotiation OF a
treaty Of commerce to put the island in
more harmonious relationship with Its natu.
raj market, the United States.
The production OF beet sugar has more
than doubled in Europe In the last few
years, while the cost Of production has
been materially lowered. This has been
effected Ivy government aid in Germany,
France, Russia, and Belgium. With the
expectation drawbacks now allowed, beet
sugar cen be purchased at but little over
two cents pei, pound, and freightage is 50
low that 1t can be brought across the At.
lantic ocean, $500 miles, and sold in CON
petition with sugar raised almost on oul
coasts.

BENEATH A ROSY CANOPY
The Marriage of Frank wetmore and
Ella +, Bliss is Celebrated.


A pretty private wedding was celebrated

Popular Prices,


The National Drill executive committee
has wisely adopted the popular price OF
twenty Eve cents for admission to the drill
grounds and twenty-five cents as the price
Of chairs on the platform. The vast am-
phitheater erected for the National Drill is
the largest ever constructed for any exhi-
bition or fair ground in this country. At
the admission price named the masses will
turn out TO witness one Of the grandest
spectacles ever presented to the American
people. The managementis is entitled to, and
will receive, the thanks Of this community
for the great executive ability displayed in
every detail for the gathering at the ma
tional capital, representatives from every
section of the country, of the national
militia for competitive drill.
The public schools and the departments
should have at least one holiday, so that
the teachers, scholars, and government
employees could have one day to witness
the evolutions Of the citizen soldiers who
constitute the pride and glory Of the
country. The President should pay this
much respect to the great reserve power, on
which the nation depends to defend its
rights and the people to uphold its laws
The business houses should close at least
one day 81 thot all their employees can have
tie opportunity to witness the notable and
unprecedented assembly at Camp George
Washington.

Total, five classes..,.. SO.s96,723 3s,ll0,267
Deaucting the aggregate for 1886 from
the recorded total OF April in that year, we
find that the remaining exports, not in
cluded in the exports of the five classes
from principal ports, were $l5,907,0sl in
value. II the amount this year should
prove to have been as great outside of the
exports above specified, the value Of all
merchandise exports would be only Si6,.
100000, and the excess Of imports over
exports not less than $l7,200,0O0. 1t is
obvious, however, that some decline in the
remaining or minor exports may reasonably
be expected, which would further swell the
excess OF imports.
Except in May, June, and July, 1882,
there has been no month since 1872 when
the imports exceeded the exports more
than sl00O0,OOO, and 1t was the scarcity OF
grain, caused by the failure Of the crops In
1881, which caused such collapse Of ex.
ports in 1882. 1t will be observed by the
table given above that the exports of bread
stuiis Show the only increase over 1856, aud
that the principal falling of is in the cotton
| export.

Decrease of American shipping.

In lsC0 the American flag was carried on
sailing vessels engaged in the foreign trade
that had a total tonnage OF 2,49G, s9i tons,
In 1886 the tonnage is reduced to l,0ss,Oll.
In 1856 we built 20G ships and barks, l03
brigs, 594 schooners, and I07 sloops, canal
boats, and barges, with total tonnage of
4O4,054 tons. In 1856, thirty years after, we
built eight ships, one brig, 275 schooners,
and l9l sloops, canal boats, and barges,
with a tonnage of 50,0S5 tons.
In 1856 our foreign commerce amounted
to S59l 100000; In 1886 1t amounted to
nearly three times that sum. We carried
most OF 1t in our own ships in 1856. We
carry practically none Of 1t now.

A Tender Subject
How often do we sec an otherwise
graceful carriage spoiled by painful ef-
forts to hobbIe along through life with
those twin afiictions of our higher civ
iiisation-tender feet and poorly ma 10
and badly fitting shoes?
Tender feet cannot be reme ediel, but
the Inconvenience resulting therefrom
can be considerably mitigated by wear
ing only such shoes as will, whiio pre-
serving their beauty OF outline, per-
fectIy conform to tho shape of the
wearer's feet. We have given special
attention to this subject, and have in
stock shoes for ladies and gentiemen,
made up with the special object In view
of giving ease and comfort to those
who arc troubled with tender feet.
These shoes. were manufacture
especially for us, and vary In price ac-
cording to quality of material. The
prices we name for footwear posse ssing
high class qualities are usually named
for goods of the most ordinary kind.
| We guarantee our prices to be lower
than those of any shoe house in the
city, and what is of more consequence,
perhaps, tho shoes we sell bring joy
| and comfort to those whose lives h1v,
been made almost burden by tender
feet, and whose miseries have been
heightened by wearing poorly-maie
and badly fitting shoes.
